CPRoot Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hey all. Does anyone have any suggestions how to find a file on a Retrospect Client which keeps causing a "Scanning incomplete, error -43 (file/folder not found)" error? from my log... 9/6/2007 1:00:33 AM: Copying lepstein on rOotgirl's PBŠ 9/6/2007 1:00:33 AM: Connected to rOotgirl's PB Scanning incomplete, error -43 (file/folder not found) I usually can fix the error by running DiskWarrior with the PowerBook in FireWire target mode, but then, a few days, a week later it crops up again. I'm getting real tired of failed incremental backups so I'd like to figure out what file is doing this. However, the Retro log isn't very detailed on this... Is there any verbose logging or anything 'tricky' I can do with the catalogs to figure out what the file(s) may be? Tech Info: Retrospect for Mac (latest version) on dual G5 tower (latest Mac OS). Client is Mac G4 PB (latest Mac OS) with Retro Client (latest). Backup in incremental nightly with local tower, PB and one PC. Any idea would be greatly appreciated! Once I sort this I can get on to figuring out why the darned thing also gets stuck in a "Net Retry" with said same PB!! <g> thxs cheers cp root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the DiskWarrior log? What is DW doing when it fixes things? Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Quote: Any idea would be greatly appreciated! The only suggestion would be to do a binary search, break the volume up into Retrospect subvolumes, try backing up each subvolume, see which has the issue. Narrow in on the problem by narrowing down the subvolume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one I did the log didn't say much other than "4 files" fixed. Alas, I didn't save out the log as I was in a rush. Perhaps this weekend I'll run it again and be able to give you a more specific answer. thxs! cheers cp root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks much for the suggestion! thxs cheers! cp root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeDave Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 I guess I'm just surprised that you use a program that discovers "4 files" that need fixing, but instead of making note of those files you post a message asking others to suggest the best way to discover which files might be causing Retrospect to fail? A full DiskWarrior scan on a modern OS X install takes a long time, while the additional time necessary to view the expanded log of changes would be a tiny percentage of the total wait, and much less then how long it takes to post multiple times to a web based BBS!
